Nursing Home Communities in Everett, WA

"The people at Bethany at Pacific are good. My loved one is there right now. They do their best, but they are short-staffed too often. I think the cost is way over charged but then I think that about most health care things. The staff is very competent. They do an excellent job. They try to get as much cooperation out of the person as they can get. They're also concerned about the patient's wants. Sometimes the patients are too moody to do anything, but they'll come back later."

"My first impression of the facility when i walked in was very clean and very organized. The people who worked at the front desk were very polite and welcoming. they answered all of our questions and made us feel right at home. They took us on a brief tour around the property.The Rooms were quaint but were nothing to get excited over. The family member who live there says that she enjoys the group activities that the staff has planned on a regular basis. The Nurses Treat each and every person like they are their own family member, and takes care of them to the best of their ability. Over all if i had to live there i wouldn't be disappointed. The other residents who live there seem to be happy with the living conditions. The rooms feel quite cozy and are well ventilated. The scent of the facility was pleasant and not the usual old people smell that you would expect. The Rates per month are about the same everywhere else. "

"AKA Careless Manner... Our dad was transferred the Manorcare AKA Careless Manner on high recommendations. It was our first family experience of touring and then admitting a family member to a SNF...so you be the judge: took over 2 hours upon arrival for my dad to get any personal attention. no formal care plan 100% NPO not observed! OMG 3 times while we were in dad's room Na's came in with ENSURE and Water for my dad! My dad, confused from stroke, could have seriously drowned, had he accepted it...esp. If had we NOT been there to observe. feeding peg tube was not flushed after use, pretty basic... failed to change simple 4x4 bandage at feeding peg tube, even after the initial change was so smelly, as they left in on without changing for over a day and a half. (Hospital recommended 2x daily) next day, RN was asked by family 5 times in 6 hours to change bandage as the smell was getting bad again--she never did by the time we left ...then we were informed in middle of night peg tube area was infected and they sent him to ER. 2nd day I arrived at 9am and my dad was not not checked by a Na or Lpn/RN until 4pm--this was a norm...My dad was incontinent at that time, so we had to change his overly wet briefs... not attentive to his specific needs. during a training session with new Na's one girl wouldn't even come close enough to bed while they turned my dad on his side...what a safety issue! saftey issues: I found my dad's bed high off ground and my dad was falling out of bed, I caught him before he fell. (He was high risk of moving, so bed was always to be left at floor level.) failed to keep dad at recommended 30% grade for breathing and preventation of choking. nursing supplies were just thrown into room everywhere, some on the floor, no order. As there appears to be no set care plans and order to patient care, hence, "Careless Manner," we as a family had to station several of us there in shifts from 9am to 9pm when we could. We kept notes of care given and needed amongst ourselves so the next family member knew what to request... After they sent him to ER, my dad spent a week in the hospital . He is now being cared for at a professional SNF. ;) There definitely is a management problem at this location. PS: Manorcare was fully aware of my dad's condition, and his special needs. They visited him in the hospital prior to admitting, AND they had his hospital records for review and approval... "

"Amazing!!!! My loved one didn't want to go anywhere else! "

"My grandmother stayed at Madeleine Villa Health Care. I preferred the facility because of the cheerful atmosphere. The staff was cordial, and they were able to accommodate my grandmother's personal needs. Although, I would suggest that they communicate better with the family. This facility is highly commendable. "

"My Mom stayed her for 3 months due to a broken femur. She started in a double room then moved to a private room. The staff there are very caring and attentive. Her bed was comfortable and they kept is low as she was a fall risk. The activities director is wonderful and got my mom to attend some activities during her stay. They have bingo, trips, movies, etc. The food is ok, breakfast is one of the best meals. You can select your menu every week. They have other options to take if you do not like what is offered. She had stayed at another facility in the area prior. This one was much better for my mom's condition (dementia) and they had better ways of getting her to try PT and OT. "

"I was there for 2 1/2 months. I was confined to my bed for about 6 0r 7 weeks, I was then able to go to the dinning room etc. I found the care to be very good most of the time. It could be a little slow at night depending on how many people were on duty. Over all I thought the care was very good. I found that the staff from the service people up were friendly and helpful. I would recommend the facility to any one."

"This is probably the nicest building I’ve seen for nursing homes. It doesn’t smell, and the staff for the most part seem to care. Considering the crazy time we are all living in, I feel they are doing the best they can"

"We are happy with the staff and the care here. People are friendly and the leadership really cares about how their patients are doing. They have care conference meetings for patients and family/friends and take time to answer questions. This has been a hard time for our family and we really appreciate the help and support we have received. I am so glad my mom is there! "

"My loved one recovered at Regency's rehab after a stroke and fractures, and then had a short/extended stay in "Long Term Care" before recovering enough to go home! The staff was compassionate, the Therapy Department was so amazing, and there are countless kind staff members who took the time to get to know and anticipate my mom's needs. From Admission to discharge, we had helpful staff along the whole journey. The facility is really clean and actually smells nice (which is VERY rare for a nursing home!!), there are great housekeeping services, large rooms, and nurses/aids are super responsive to call lights. We appreciate all they did to help our mom recover safely and properly."

"Several years ago, a family member was in need of aftercare in a rehabilative environment following a severe stroke, and we turned to Cristwood for help. I spent many hours with him there, and found this facility to be outstanding in every aspect; so much so that I commented to the rest of my family that if I was ever in need of such care, Cristwood would be my #1 choice. Fast forward to Fall, 2014. Prior to my 52nd birthday, my doctor gave me an early "present"-total knee replacements were desperately needed on both legs. The plan was to do them individually with a 2-4 day hospitalization following each surgery, and approximately 3 weeks of in patient rehabilitation at a nursing facility. Remembering my positive experiences at Cristwood, I contacted them to see if they could accommodate, and they could. Surgery on my left knee commenced at the beginning of November. Due to a severe infection, my hospitalization was longer than anticipated, and I was released to Cristwood on November 11th. From the minute I entered the facility, I knew I had made the right decision for me. The staff at Cristwood-from the housekeeping associates to upper management not only exceeded all of my expectations as to what a rehab center should provide to its clients, but it raised the bar completely. During my stay here, the medical staff worked very closely with my surgeon and wound care specialist to ensure that the treatment plan for this infection was the same across the board. CristwoodTransportation diligently handled the many appointments I had offsite perfectly, often juggling schedules to compensate for last minute changes and additions. Even my diet was changed in order to address nutritional deficiencies associated with 'round the clock use of the wound vacuum. In addition, the occupational and physical therapists not only put up with my moods, but they curtailed my exercise plan to effectively work for both of us (that would be me and my "crazy straw" wound vac). There were many days when allI wanted to do was cry or scream, and Cristwood's wonderful team of aides would do or say something to bring me out of that darkness and cause me to smile. The same holds true for the maintenance and housekeeping crews-Throughout my stay at Cristwood, there have been numerous examples of kindness, compassion and care bestowed not only on me, but on every single client; these attributes possessed by Cristwood's staff are what makes this facility head and shoulders above the rest. I am slated to leave on Friday, December 19th, and thanks to the combined efforts of all, I am well on my way to recovery. Cristwood was a major player in all of this, which is why I will be returning here in February following the second surgery. "

"We visited Anderson House. They were very welcoming. The rooms were very clean and well equipped. There were the typical activities of an adult facility, like bus trips for shopping and going places. The food was wonderful. "

"Richmond Beach Rehab facility was just what I needed in order to heal from a broken right hip and survive all the difficulties that were a part of my recovery. It was a random choice made from a list provided by the social worker when I needed to transfer from the hospital. Sometimes there was a waiting time after I pressed my red button for help, and yes, sometimes there did not seem to be enough employees to handle the workload, but I found those who helped me to be dedicated to their work and truly concerned about my well fare. Their work often concerned helping with the very personal needs of commode use and trying to answer every call for help. I asked one helper why he did this job, and he replied, "It's what I signed up for." Only dedicated people should bother to apply for this kind of work. My needs were met every day, and the physical and occupational therapists were skilled and helpful. They challenged me every day to accomplish a more difficult task so I would be ready to go home. Each time I succeeded, I felt like I should put a "gold star" on my chart. I was assigned to a private room. The food was excellent, and we were allowed to list our food preferences. Activities were planned for each day, and I was able to attend three church services in the activities center and two musical concerts by guitarists who sang and played. After 24 days I was able to go home and had learned the skills necessary to navigate around my condo with a walker. I would highly recommend this rehab facility."

"My husband was in Shoreline Health and Rehabilitation Center for six weeks. They were great with him. They were so cheerful and helpful. The orthopedic doctor really doubted that he would be able to walk on that leg again because he's in his 90s now and didn't think it would heal, but they worked with him out there, did physical therapy, and he's walking on it again. They had wonderful physical therapy there. He had a room all to himself, so he liked that. He could look out the window and get in his wheelchair and wheel himself around, too, if he wanted to get out of there, and wander and visit. I asked him how the food was, and he said it's all good. We didn't go into the dining area. He had his meals in his room. They brought it to him. The staff couldn't have been nicer. I can't complain about anything. They were constantly cleaning, and they kept it neat. There were exercises they could do sitting in their wheelchairs or regular chairs, and I joined in a couple of times. It was fun. We donated a bunch of books to the little library they have there, too. They had different things going on, and it was just nice and very pleasant. They have areas outside where you can wheel yourself right out or wheel someone else out and sit out in the sun. We did that a lot. They transported him over to a hospital, so they could do X-rays and scans on his hip over there, and got him back to Shoreline."
